thickly in drills. As soon as the tops die off In summer remove them to 
a dry, airy place, and early In the following spring replant by placing the

drills. The onions obtained by that process are of a large size early in the

thinly in drills I foot apart and about % inch deep In March or early in 
April, in strong land, well manured, and thinning them out to 8 to 4
